Notice biographique

A relative of Catharine Parr Traill, Susanna Moodie, and Agnes Fitzgibbon, Sydney Strickland Tully received extensive artistic training, studying in Toronto, Paris, London and New York. Although she is best known for her portraits, landscapes and genre scenes in oil and pastel, she began her career as a painter of photographs and designer of Christmas cards. Inspired by Parisian ateliers, Tully operated studios in Toronto (from 1888-90), London (1895), and in Holland and Jersey (1906-08). A member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy, she participated in exhibitions throughout Europe and North American, including the Art Association of Montreal (1892-1909), the Toronto Industrial Exhibition (1890-1910), World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the Paris Salon (1888), the Royal Academy (1896-97), and the 91 Club in London. Additional awards and honours included an honourable mention at the Pan-American exhibition in Buffalo and a bronze medal at the Saint Louis Exposition, both for one of her most famous works, "The Twilight of Life" (1894). Tully also contributed articles on European affairs to "The Globe" and illustrated a children's book, published posthumously.
